Hi, I have just started using Captivate 3 on a new Windows 7 laptop with a microphone I have had for several years. I'm getting a great deal of background hissing and popping when I record using Captivate, but no sound at all if I use a standalone sound recorder.

I have read that there may be an incompatibility between Captivate and some sound cards. Can anyone advise me whether there is a patch for Captivate 3 or do I have to dig deep yet again and buy Captivate 4?

I have an IDT High Definition Audio CODEC with a driver date of 29/06/2009.
